Cartons of biscuits and crates of dehydrated potatoes are stacked side by side at the Westhafen before being loaded for distribution to the population of Berlin. The inland harbor in the British sector was a central hub of food supply in 1946, as the city depended on imports and aid shipments after the war. Such stockpiles illustrate how tightly rationing was organized in occupied Berlin to avert the threat of famine.
